Freez'Bees

If you like arctic conditions in the comfort of your own home, the Freez'Bees could be for you.

Percy the Penguin, stalwart of the ice cap, has his territory invaded by Snowbees and, after choosing the ideal ice blocks, they lay their eggs deep within them. The eggs hatch out and the young Snowbees chase poor Percy in a determined effort to kill him.

Percy is not too pleased by these Snowbees first invading his territory and then trying to kill him, so he takes evasive action by either destroying the ice blocks before the eggs hatch out, or luring them to the perimeter fence, which he has electrified, and frying them. If he fails to kill them within a certain period of time and he has not destroyed the eggs within all of the ice blocks, more hatch out and his job becomes even harder.

In one of Silversoft's best games for quite a while, good graphics and smooth playing action make this an enjoyable and original program which, whether you use keyboard or joystick, should keep you amused for some time.
